Continuation of interview with Sara Santiz Gomez, a woman who was sterilized by a doctor at a state-run hospital without her knowledge in August 1999. She speaks in Tzeltal, which is translated into Spanish by her husband, and then in English by Monica Angeles. Sara and her husband were worried about the operation and the complications that followed after the surgery. The doctors gave her prescription from a private pharmacy to get the medicine, which was very expensive. The interview is moved indoors, where Sara is seated with her family. She talks about how her choice to have children was taken away, and discuss how difficulty it has been to try to get justice; the doctor is still practicing. They also went to a ministry, who questioned why the family wanted more children. She says that she continues to fight because she knows that it is right, and that she has documentation to prove it. The video ends with a close-ups of official documents.
